Salina banksi
In its natural habitat. Now we understand better why it is spotted ;-)
Excellent shot, John!

Thank you Frans, and...
...another one with a damaged antenna. You commented re the phenomenon in last February's image here: [thumb: 1939986].
Because of the camo and 2 mm size I didn't even notice them until postprocessing the image. We were photodocumenting the escaped and naturalized exotic plant which was new to the State Park. Though widely cultivated, the plant is only native to SE Asia. Is Salina banksi found there as well? The camo pattern is indeed a remarkable match.

Salina banksi
is only recorded from North America. But the genus Salina is widespread : the Americas, mid Africa and SE Asia.
